John Spencer's last season (1992-93) consisted entirely of walkovers. He did lose 10-0 in the 1992 World Championship, but that was to Bjorn L'Orange of Norway.
Joe Johnson is the correct answer - well done SnookerEd. He lost 10-0 to Ian Preece in the 2004 World Championship. Johnson played only 2 matches in his last season and was badly hampered by a broken foot/ankle which happened at the start of the season. Even at the season's end, it caused him pain after a few frames, and he retired part way through the match.

Ok, let's wrap up 'Ray Reardon's Bedside Snooker' (1983) player of the past identifications with this description of a player's style :
Who plays with his head cocked at an 'impossible' angle halfway down one side of his cue?

Not Dougie M., I would say he is (was) ultra-conventional in his playing style!

Not JV, his beard would have had a velcro effect with the cloth had he played like that, and could have had disastrous consequences...

Not Mr. Mans; his style was definitely 'different' but not to the extent of the gentleman in question here...

Correct!
'Graham Miles is the contortionist. We can not understand how he manages to see what he is doing, but there is a theory going round that he has a third eyeball in his left ear!'
Got to pop out for a bit, but when I get back I will post the final cartoon to the Twitter group.

Last time I was in England watching snooker, the commentary team would always mention Miles whenever a similar style player was on.
What's the name of the film starring Stephen Chow and Jimmy White?

Perhaps surprisingly, there is a Chinese film called 'The Black and White Milk Cow'. Alas, neither Chow nor White star in it.
